That sounds like what I'm looking for, except I wanted a way to still
automatically fall back on cross-group allocations if either a) too
many machines were requested or b) too many machines were currently
busy in any one group. My reading of that was such that this would
never happen automatically. (I.e. WantParallelSchedulingGroup = true
is a boolean, not a fuzzy optimisation). Any suggestions?

Thanks,
